You're lieing,mention what and what the Yorubas built in lagos? The british owned lagos since 1860,before the British made it capital,

See if Lagos is not going to be beneficial to the whites, they won't have made it the capital city...Do you think during slave trade,the whites didn't reject some slaves that were offered to them...If you can't fit into the plans of the white,they won't come close to you.. Whatever they built in Lagos is in Kaduna too..If you don't know the one Nigeria we practice in Nigeria is affecting the progress wheel of South west.Can you imagine Abia state is owing it's medical doctors 25 months salary....This can never happen in the south west.. Tell me what is left there if the government can't provide his citizens with security and health facilities....These are reasons why your people are japaing to other regions to enjoy good life

Just imagine this...Basic amenities they can't provide for their citizens...This is among the many reasons their citizens run to other states and regions to enjoy cheap medical facilities being financed by other regions state governors.No security, No medical facility yet they collect monthly allocation from Abuja...I wonder what is left in Abia state.This is among the reasons they are japaing to other region to enjoy good life.

It's a lie,Festac was built by federal government, satellite town,Apapa largely too,lots of federal projects in amuwo-odofin and Ojo.These attracted alot of other private projects too

You list them... Moreover let me shock you..There's no federal government project you mentioned in Lagos that is not in Kaduna state.Lagos has been built by the Yorubas already and doing very well before the British made it capital city.

Kwankwaso knows what he's doing....He knows he can't win 2023 election...He doesn't have the spread...He is only interested in Northwest votes as a launch pad for 2027 presidential election.....He wants to capture the north west first...

tungamaje:
One thing is that in Nigeria if you wait for the government to provide those amenities for you, then be ready to wait for eternity or better still endure the discomfort Common to provide Nigerians with electricity, has it been able? So if the government doesn't provide for you, would you fold your arms waiting until it does? Some may wait, but Igbos generally don't. In my village it was the community development union that brought electricity while the then military governor came to commission it. That's why you see communities and individuals providing amenities such as roads, boreholes and others for themselves. If you want to bring development to your community, don't just wait for the government. You can only attract its presence once the village becomes developed by itself. I was shocked to see a Stop work, by local govt town planning office notice written on a building under construction in an interior part of my village. Sort of Come and settle us

Then if you can't hold your own leaders accountable for the federal allocation they collect on behalf of the state every month, don't condemn other region leaders.The north west and south west do hold their leaders accountable.If we can't hold our governors that are close to us accountable, then we have no moral right to blame Buhari for whatever we are facing in this country.

Pierced:
Obollo Afor has tiled road oooo. There's nothing that u are looking for in Obollo Afor that u will not see......like in the whole of Enugu State that's the city that bubbles. Like they don't sleep there.

Sammy07:
LMAO, delusional.

You probably thought you're having a convo with a novice here?

Apart from bauchi the state capital, which other city is developed?

Is this ment or malaria?

That's what I'm telling them...It's not by individual efforts...There government can't provide basic infrastructures for them in their respective villages...gbam they troop to other regions to start enjoying infrastructures other states put in place.

All those places they are calling city...I've asked them severally the infrastructures there to make life meaningful to them... Nobody answered...After all they collect the whole state allocation not state capital allocation from the east.

You are living in alt reality,Mk una dey deceive unaselves,am okun from kogi by the way

I for tell you but not to have people view my opinion as biased, I will dodge am. Just know that I have travelled virtually all parts of Nigeria due to work contingencies.

Forget, South-East dey try and North-Central states despite the calamities of war, they can beat those wey never experience am.

Alayi fine o but Small London get people wey carry money pass una. First time of seeing Alayi, I thought it was Ajayi

All the things you are saying are what individuals did... What has the government done there...After all, they collect allocation from Abuja.

inspirator1:
But there are private hospitals functioning there. Howbeit, I am not justifying the government's attitude to public infrastructures. Nonetheless, can you mention any major city in Nigeria that has effective and efficient general hospitals aside our first class cities. Moreover, citizens of this country actually rely on private sectors services most often due to the inefficiency of government sector services even in the first class cities.

In the south west,all general hospitals there are functioning optimally...At least there's one in a local government...not like Ohafia that even electricity they don't have.

babasolution:
Southwesterners don't want to learn,their region is supposed to be the most highly developed region in Nigeria, but it isn't, osogbo,Akure can be compared to lokoja,Makurdi.

Southwest are punching far below their weight but they don't want to admit this.

LAGOS is not southwest,Lagos is former FCT

Lagos is south east then.....Tell me if there are Ijebus, Aworis and Egun that are indigenous to the east...Do you know that Awka can be compared to Jere in Kaduna and Ile ife in Osun state...Soon you will say Mowe, Ibafo too was former fct....If your region is okay, you won't be leaving in droves to other regions to enjoy the infrastructures their government put in place...The way Lagos has federal projects is the way other states have federal projects too..Lagos as a capital was limited to only 2 lga of Lagos island and Lagos mainland...Thats where you will see Federal government projects.Outside those two local government area, no federal projects.

MrColdsweat:
Mbaise is more developed than abeokuta and osogbo.

I won't argue with you but can you tell us the infrastructures your government put in place in Mbaise that will make people not to leave Mbasie cos as far as I know security is zero in Mbasie

MrColdsweat:
The most underdeveloped southern region. Take away lagos and it's a giant slum.

Tell us what your state governments have done in the south east that will attract people from other regions to your region....

agadez007:
Have you ever wondered why they never claim their hometowns,just Lagos

At least they are claiming the state in their region, with the same culture and tradition and Lagos is the pride of all Yorubas in Nigeria, Benin republic and even in Brazil...

7lives:
Genocide, they will report you to ICJ.

Their region is Eldorado yet they troop to other people's villages in the north and in the south west.... South south that south west shares border with, they don't leave their own region trooping to south west.If the necessary infrastructures are in place, they are not meant to be leaving their own region to a region that they think is below par to them after all they have many cities they can go in their region.

greatiyk4u:
Nsukka has a township stadium
All commercial banks are available in nsukka town
Over 30 standard hotels exist in nsukka
Fast food and mall dey
90% of street starred with street lights and water


Google the pictures, they are on the internet

I said Nsukka has a small stadium....5000 seaters capacity that was commissioned last year December... Besides this, what has the government put in place to make Nsukka worth living?The only place worth living in the whole of Enugu state is Enugu metropolis.You can google for us to support your points.Show us picture of Nsukka market too.

christejames:
You are still asking same rhetorical questions which shows you don't know Nsukka...




Try and visit and enjoy life my guy.

You are dodging the questions asked...Its an opportunity for you to let us know how Nsukka is...I don't need to proof anything to you again...Nsukka is a village.The only place that is developed in Enugu state is Enugu town...Thanks to Sullivan....Even Abakaliki got a turn around as a result of Umahis efforts.

christejames:
It's not by chest beating...


Ordinarily, I would have ignored your comment... But your questions in the comment shows you don't know Nsukka or have ever visited it that's why I quoted.



Asking whether Nsukka has banks outside the school? for example...




Abeg wise up, Nsukka as a town will compete with some state capitals in Nigeria, no carp.

With their community stadium?Is there flyover there?Is there dual carriage way there? Is there intercity cabs in Nsukka?Besides the school, what's the selling point of Nsukka ?

christejames:
You are just fooling yourself, so stop it...


From your questions, it's obvious you've never been to Nsukka...



Landlord travel and see.

Oh Ugwuayi commissioned a 5000 seat community stadium in Nsukka when ijebu ode has an international stadium since 2005..

It's not by chest beating...Others on this forum wants to learn from you...Be honourable and answer my questions.. okay

greatiyk4u:
You must be a COMEDIAN
You think I don't know ibafo and mowe?
Which road dey to even access those places from the state capital?

Nsukka is already competing with Enugu metropolis,
It is either you didn't visit in 2022 or you are just an outright liar.

Obollo afor is more advanced than ijebu ode in addition to the fact that all villages in the East are self developed

Is it not the same obollo afor that's northward?Can you please show us picture of Nsukka that is competing with Enugu metropolis? Does Nsukka have a stadium?Are there banks in Nsukka asides the ones in the school compound? Can you name them...Which company is in Obollo afor? Are banks there?How many tarred roads are in Obollo afor?You are just typing as if Enugu wey I know is Eldorado...All these transekulu, obiagu, uwani, nothing to

greatiyk4u:
When last did you visit Nsukka?
In Enugu state, aside the capital we have
Nsukka
Agbani
Obollo Afor
Orji River
9th mile
Iwolo oye
Ogurute
Orba
Adani
Etc

I know all these places bro...I swear to God almighty,...Ibafo, mowe better pass these places...Nsukka is zero....I was there Oct 2022 for a burial...

owobokiri:
This is what you guys always say to comfort yourselves but he is telling you the raw truth. The state of many major South West cities is alarmingly disturbing. Very old and dirty and unkempt!

Take away Lagos, the South West has the most rustic and archaic cities in Nigeria. And I am not saying this out of malice. I have lived in the north, was born in the east and have also been to atleast 3 major South West cities. Your cities are hellish.

Go to Dutse and see how Lamido transformed an old town into a new city. Go to Kano and Kaduna. Even Gombe! But once you enter Abeokuta or Oshogbo, you start to wonder what's going on.

I live in the north...I know all these places you mentioned...But do you realize that it's the south east that is benefitting more from the federal system Nigeria practices? Imagine Oyo state with almost the land mass of South east has 5 states? Meaning what is given to Oyo state that has the size of South east , south east collects 5 times of it as FAAC monthly yet no visible development in the south east.When a particular state is being cheated with FAAC coupled with migration to the region how do you expect that region to grow? What this means is that the south west has been the states shouldering the responsibilities of most states by providing infrastructures for these Nigerians that have found succour in the region.This is the reason the south west has been clamouring for regionalism because they know they are being cheated.

inspirator1:
I think I know Abia very well...

They have their famous Aba, Umuahia (capital though the least among others) Uzuakoli, Uturu axis, Ohafia and Small London...these are cities with modern standard.

You included the same Ohafia that doesn't have a functional general hospital...

babasolution:
No difference between a nsukka and oyo or Ogbomosho, no difference BTW an orlu and ijebu ode,no diff between an ABA and Sango ota

All these Orlu,Nsukka are in the class of Ibafo in Ogun state while Aba can be compared to Mowe in Ogun state if you know these towns I mentioned well...I lived in the East and I know all these places you mentioned very well.You are a mediocre for comparing Nsukka with Oyo...Asides the university, can you list any infrastructure outside the university...I mean in the town...No infrastructure...No motorable road in the whole of Nsukka...They are all bad...Asides Owerri and Orlu in Imo state, can you mention another Town in Imo state?Aside Aba and Umuahia in Abia state, mention another Town?What has the government put in place as infrastructure in all these so called towns you mentioned.

Bluntemperor:
Bros,just leave them,for the tirades is Political matters,so let is continue but remember, majority of them lives in Lagos!
You have spoken the truth and truth is bitter,no matter how you want to twist the truth,it remains the truth!
Let them continue to shade Tinubu on the Social Media by making him More Popular!

There's something I learnt from Tinubu...Once you set your aim on something, if your enemies want to distract you, don't fall rather face what you've set your eyes to achieve aggressively.

mrvitalis:
Because they are not one tribe like muslims

Exactly...The Muslims speak with one voice, buy over some of the elders in southern Kaduna and the Muslims have it.Had it been Patrick Yakowa is alive now, he would have been their voice and political leader.May his soul rest in peace.Amen

mrvitalis:
People that make up 46% of Kaduna are not governor ,not deputy not even speaker and you call that representation ?


Bros honestly only a wicked person would say this thing you said

So this is Tinubu plan for Christians ?

They are even more than 50%.The problem of southern Kaduna is their elders and they don't speak with one voice...They are so divided.

There's something about Tinubu...He has empathy...He's not begging them to campaign for him, they are only showing gratitude.. Tinubu may not spend alot in this campaign..It may be people he has helped that will finance his Campaign...No matter the position you are, try to help people... Nobody knows tomorrow..The people you help today may be your own helper tomorrow without you knowing...

femisplash:
Kano was created same year as Lagos. While Jigawa was created out of Kano, both have more than 40 LGs while Lagos remains 20.

So many injustice...The truth is the population is not there in the north west.. That's why they left their borders open for Nigerians to shore up their population there....This coming election, you will see that the BVAS southerners are jubilating over won't work in the north west and north east because it will expose the fake population statistics they've been churning out.Kano has 44 lgas while jigawa an arid state has 20lgas...What's the justification for this?

mrvitalis:
USA is a settler state not an indigenous land

People won't practice that in USA would die if you replicate that in their homeland of Europe

Before the UK left they gave you a system they thought would make Nigeria function well wilinks report but Nigeria ignored it

The truth is Nigeria is not meant to be a country..The British should have balkanized it before they granted our independence.There's issue of ethnicity, religion etc..

femisplash:
You have a thinking head on your shoulders unlike that ipob illiterate.

Just imagine Jigawa with the same local government council as Lagos, Kano with almost the same population as Lagos having more than twice of the local government Lagos has... Height of injustice....So many injustices caused by the nepotistic military head of states.

mrvitalis:
Under true federalism there won't be states but ethnic nations as federating unites

Well, it depends on what you meant but I know in the USA which we modelled their own system of government, there is federal government, state government, local council areas too.
